Marquette can not afford to lose either of their two games this weekend.
Can’t do it. Wouldn’t be prudent.
In his most recent bracketology effort, ESPN’s Charlie Creme has MU as a 9 seed in the NCAA tournament. Now, you might be saying, “Hey, that sounds pretty good and safe when it comes to the bubble,” and if you were using the men’s tournament as a comparison there, you’d be 100% correct.
However, women’s hoops is much more top heavy than the men’s side of the aisle. Creme has the “auto-bids from here on down” section of his bracket start with one of the 10 seeds.
